Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I’m Johnny Mack with today’s Daily Comedy News Eagles versus Chiefs. He excited. Kevin Hart, sure is. He’s been all over social media posting Eagles videos.
He even got in on making fun of the mayor of Philadelphia. You see, the mayor was trying to hype up fans by doing the traditional e A g L e S Eagles chant. However, the mayor spelled out e L g l e s. Commander’s fans started selling fly el Goles fly t shirts at its lgate before the game. Kevin Hart joined in.
He posted on Instagram e A g L e S Eagles. If you want to spell it the other way, we can do that too. Shout out to the mayor. Pete Davidson was at the Eagles game as well. People are like, hey, why’s Pete Davidson there?
I thought he was a Giants fan. Well, he is a big fan of Saquon Borkley, who played for the Giants, and the Giants decided we’re not going to re sign you. Are you even good at football? Oops from ESPN. ESPN’s own copy says Jim Gaffigan tells Jason Kelcey funny story about quitting football.
Okay, according to ESPN, this is a funny story. I’m going to stay with it as long as I can because Jim Gaffigan is a fantastic standup comedian when he’s performing written material. But this, I’m sorry, is not a funny story. Let’s listen. Who played at George sound what was your career?
Like, I mean, I feel so imperissed. I mean, I know you’re being caught. I played, I walked on to Purdue. I played for maybe two weeks. Then I transferred to Georgetown, which is Division three weeks to lose to you know, we could probably would have lost to a lot of high school teams.
And I played for a year and a half and I quit. I mean the best was when I because I walked in after two a day. And this is all about quitting, and which is like, I know these guys have been inspiring, but how about the quitters? And I have to hook it there because if I keep going, none of you are going to listen. Now.
Some of you are like drum graffigan rules, You’re just from idiot abasement. I understand that I am some idiot in the basement, But that story is terrible. You’d much rather hear me tell you about Conan O’Brien, wouldn’t you. Conan’s getting ready to host the Oscars. He’s got a movie coming out in November.
Both his parents passed away within three days of each other. He had to deal with the wildfires, and he says, a lot been happening in a very short time, and there’s a lot that happened in my personal life starting in December that was intense, and then going to this month with the fires and prep for what’s coming up. It’s been a time where I just take it one day at a time. He recalled speaking to a woman who drove him to the premiere of his upcoming movie. He learned that she was actually from la and her apartment quote burned to the ground.
Conan says, it’s time to be asking other people how they’re doing, listening to them, and that respect. Some of the things I’m doing, like coming here to sun Dance for the film or the Oscars Award show coming up, that can seem silly and trivial, but they’re also important at the same time, because we keep going, we keep making stuff. Conan was at sun Dance for the premiere of the movie. If I had legs, I’d kick you. This apparently got really strong reviews quote stunning audiences with its emotional intensity.
Conan plays a no nonsense therapist. The film quickly transitions from its supposed dramatic comedy genre into a raw, gripping exploration of the presence of Rose Burns’s character, leaning her into increasingly dark territory. Folks are comparing Conan’s role to that of Adam Sandler and Uncut Gems. Now, you know, most Adam Sandler projects are complete garbage, but Uncut Gems is solid. I want Adam Sandler to do more of that.
Are you listening, Adam, I know you are more Uncut Gems. Please. Even that space thing you did that was a little weird, that was good. I like dramatic Adam Sandler. I actually think you’re really good at that.
The comedies you’re not that good at it. And I realize you’ve made a lot of money and a lot of people have awful taste, but you should be a dramatic actor. Conan’s portrayal of a cold stoke therapist contrasts sharply with Roseburn’s frantic, desperate character. Despite limited scene time, Conan manages to add moments of dry humor, such as the line I don’t respond to emails about my client’s dreams. Conan said the experience is one of the best of his life, and he’s had quite the career.
The Redinblack dot Com talked to Tom Sigora and ask Tom how he deals with criticism. Tom Sigori said, the thing that most comedians probably listen to the most when it comes to feedback your criticism is usually if it’s from another comedian, you’ll never please everybody. I teach this to my college students. So remember Derek Jeter. You’ve heard of him.
Captain in the near Yankees, Remember eight Ron, Remember that guy? So you could be Derek Jeter. Right, You’ve got five World Series rings. Women think you’re good looking, You’re the captain of the Yankees, but everyone’s given you a hard time because they think Alex Rodriguez is better defensively at shortstop.
Meanwhile, over at third base, Alex Rodriguez could be looking over Jeter goi…
You know I’m dating h Nah, I’m a better short stop. No, no, just stay in your own lane, don’t worry about everybody else, don’t read the comments. Toms Gorse says, you never please everybody. There’s the idea that you’re gonna make everybody happier, make everybody laugh. It’s not real.
It doesn’t matter who you talk about. There’s no comedian, no matter their level, that everybody goes. Yes, I agree that person’s the best. The audience also dictates without telling you with words. You kind of know when something’s working or not.
Podcasting kind of works a little bit, almost like minor leagues or your stand up material, because you’re just kind of chatting. Then all of a sudden you realize that there’s something there for the stage. You’re not conscious of it. A lot of times it just happens. Then you give yourself a little note like, oh, that thing we talked about in the podcast, I think that’s a bit.
I think that could actually make that work. Yeah, Sigoura about the potential TikTok ben, he said, I would not be concerned. I know that everybody always does when they have their favorite platform, and the reality is that if it were not to exist tomorrow, other platforms would pop up. The ones that already exist would see and not partaking their growth. There’ll always be someone, so someone will come and fill a void if any of these places go away, And honestly, I wish they would all go away.
I hate it. I was all happy on Saturday Night and I’m like, all right, I’m gonna watch some TV. And speaking of Saturday Night, I didn’t do that intentionally. Netflix put up the Saturday Night Movie and I was like, Oh, I’ve wanted to see this hit play. It is fantastic.
Have you seen this thing? It is great. Gets a little feel goodie in the last five minutes there, but it’s okay. It’s a fun ride. The vocal impressions of the cast, like the guy doing Chevy, the guy doing Acroyd fantastic, Matthew reesis Carlin good enough?
The only thing that confuses me is I don’t know why they had cousin Greg double roll as both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson. That got a little weird, But it’s fine. I really like this that Rachel sent out. That’s the it girl in Hollywood right now. She’s fantastic in this thing.
HI praise for me on SNL Movie pod News put in their newsletter and their podcast. They noticed that somebody has reposted the Ricky Gervase podcasts. No one knows where these showed up from, but they’re there. At least eight episodes of them are I grabbed them? Remember those from like two years ago?
They were pretty good. They haven’t been around, so you might want to type Ricky Gervaise into your podcast app and grab those before they disappear, you know what I’m saying. Yes, some of us in the Facebook group were discussing James Austin Johnson’s Trump impression, and I’ll go first. When he first came on SNL, I was like, ooh, this is really good. It’s drifting.
If you’d like to chime in on that discussion, please feel encouraged to joining the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. I think SNL’s had a pretty rough season. People seem to like that Timothy Shallome episode. A couple sketches were okay, slow news Day here, So let’s click on what Mark Maren can’t live without. New York Magazine did this a few weeks back.
Mark apparently cannot live without Patchuli oil. He says, I just love this stuff and I’m one of the few people that can wear it and not come off as obnoxious. For whatever reason, I had a girlfriend while I was in college who was oddly not a hippie at all, just kind of this punk rock, angry sculptor who was a really important person in my life. She was into Pachuli oil. She sent to me in some sort of witchbag, and that point on, it’s always been part of my life on a daily basis.
Apparently you can get an ounce of Petuli oil for forty five dollars. Mark Maren’s also into the Will’s jacket. He says, it’s got kind of a rugged vod to it. The Will’s jacket is really the thing to get. I don’t run you five hundred and ninety eight dollars.
Mark’s also into White’s boots, the original semi dress. Those are only seven hundred and ten dollars. Mark says, when I was at Spokane, Washington doing a gig, I got in a car with a guy who was driving me and he’s an old dude, an old Spokane guy, and we were talking about boots and he goes, well, they make Whites’ boots here and they’re the best. I’ve never heard of them at the time I went over to Whites and got measured and made some choices about what I wanted on the boot. You had a choice of heel and leather, or whether you wanted a toastrap or no toae strap.
But at that time they had more types of leather to choose from. I’ve got five or six pairs of different kinds of Whites’ boots and I wear them all the time. Mark’s also into the Setaphil gentle foaming cleanser that’s only eleven dollars, and Mark says, I don’t know when I got into this, but I can’t live without it. It has to be this one because the other facial cleanser they have is Smelly for forty five dollars. So you could be like Mark Marin and get some quirkies nuts cold pressed organic walnut oil.
Mark says, I’ve been a vegan for a year and a half and I got obsessed with walnuts and walnut oil, and they seem to factor into my life quite a bit. Lately. I mix the walnut oil in my smoothies because I think it’s gonna fix my heart and brain and give me all the omega threes that I need. Mark’s a fan of the sure SM seven B Vocal Dynamic microphone three hundred and ninety eight bucks. Yep, A lot of podcasters use that one for thirty four ninety five.
That’s a thirty five hundred dollars, not thirty five dollars. Mark likes the Fender Telecaster Custom nineteen seventy eight. He says, I bought that from Howie at Rivington Guitars in New York City. It’s just like a classic Keith Richard’s guitar in a lot of ways. I’ve always been a bit of a telecaster guy.
It was just fortuitous that I found one of that era that has just a great sound. Mark recommends the Kent sixteen sea handmade course fine tooth dressing, grooming and styling comb for men and women. It’s eight bucks. Mark tells us Kent combs are just sturdy. They almost look like hand cut cone.
I go to a bunch of them, and I just kind of a fetish for them. And Mark’s final recommendation for us is Doctor Browner’s Peppermint Pure Castle Liquid soap that runs you a ten bucks at Amazon, twelve bucks at Walmart. Mark says I got to interview the grandson who runs the company. And I got a lifetime supply of that liquid soap, the big things like the almond, the t tree oil, the lavender, and I use it. I haven’t bought a barn a decade or more.
I just use that for the shower and everything. I use it to wash dishes too. Sometimes that’s the stuff man. And somebody show me a note asking John, is it a slow newsday again? No?
Why do you ask? Yes, it’s a slow news week apparently, And that as it is, is your comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too. Join us in the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group.
